Start the day off right with hearty, delicious Breakfast Brownies! Made with bananas, oats, and peanut butter, these breakfast treats are as healthy as they are tasty!
Say Good Morning to Breakfast Brownies!
I love a healthy breakfast food that feels a little indulgent (helloooo, chocolate). Made without any oil or refined sugar, these scrumptious Breakfast Brownies provide a healthy, hearty alternative to a quick bowl of cereal. And they’re almost as convenient. A breeze to make, you just blend and bake! I love to make them the night before and warm them up before sending my family out into the day. Breakfast Brownies are the platonic ideal of breakfast treats!
And seeing your kids’ faces when you suggest brownies for breakfast — that’s a treat in and of itself! Alllll the cool mom points.
Blend and Bake
When I say these are a breeze, it really could not be easier. First, preheat your oven to 350°F and prep an 8×8-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and parchment paper. Then, add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
If the batter gets too thick for your blender or food processor, add a few tablespoons of milk or water. Once well blended, pour the batter in to your prepared pan.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely before eating and enjoy! See? Easy breezy!

I hope you’re inspired to make my Breakfast Brownies. Such a great way to start your day! Be sure to tag me on Instagram @thebakermama when you make them so I can see. I love seeing how inspired and creative y’all get with the ideas and recipes I share!
